THE GREEN, (east side)
Nos 1 and 2, Jessamine Cottage

(Formerly listed as Jessamine Cottage and No 2 Jessamine Cottages)

GV
II
Two cottages. Probably late C18-early C19. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings; stone rubble or brick stacks topped with C19 and C20 brick; thatch roof.

Plan: pair of contemporary two-room plan cottages built end onto the lane facing south. Gable-end stacks and axial stack between the two cottages. No 1 Jessamine Cottage is to right. Two storeys with secondary rear outshots.

Exterior: if No 2 had another first floor window both cottages would have a vaguely symmetrical two window front of C20 casements with glazing bars around a central front doorway; both of which contain a C20 panelled door behind a contemporary gabled porch. Uneven front eaves and roof is gable-ended.
Interiors: not inspected.

The Green contains an attractive group of small thatch-roofed houses.
